==SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING GAS TURBINE ENGINE TEMPERATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17947863 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING GAS TURBINE ENGINE TEMPERATURES

==Simplified Explanation==

The system described in the patent application is for determining an indicated turbine temperature (ITT) for a gas turbine engine. The system includes an engine control system with a processor and memory storing instructions. When executed, the instructions cause the processor to estimate outlet temperature values, determine work of the high-pressure turbine, estimate inlet temperature values, and calculate the ITT.

* The system includes an engine control system with a processor and memory storing instructions.
* The processor determines a first estimated outlet temperature value for the high-pressure turbine.
* The processor calculates the estimated work of the high-pressure turbine.
* The processor estimates the inlet temperature value for the high-pressure turbine using the estimated work.
* The processor calculates the ITT by determining a second estimated outlet temperature value using the estimated inlet temperature value.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in the aerospace industry for gas turbine engines to optimize engine performance and efficiency.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in accurately determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine, which is crucial for engine performance and safety.

== Benefits ==
The system provides a more accurate and reliable method for determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine, leading to improved engine efficiency and performance.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications include aircraft manufacturers, gas turbine engine manufacturers, and companies involved in gas turbine engine maintenance and servicing.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be similar systems used in gas turbine engines for temperature monitoring and control.

=== What are the potential safety implications of inaccurately determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine? ===

Inaccurately determining the ITT of a gas turbine engine can lead to engine overheating, which can result in engine failure and potentially catastrophic accidents.

=== How does this system compare to traditional methods of determining ITT in gas turbine engines? ===

This system provides a more advanced and accurate method for determining ITT compared to traditional methods, which may rely on less precise calculations or measurements.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A system for determining an indicated turbine temperature (ITT) for a gas turbine engine includes an engine control system. The engine control system includes a processor in communication with a non-transitory memory storing instructions, which instructions when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a first estimated outlet temperature value for a high-pressure turbine of the gas turbine engine, determine an estimated work ({dot over (W)}) of the high-pressure turbine, determine an estimated inlet temperature value for the high-pressure turbine using the estimated work ({dot over (W)}), and determine the ITT by calculating a second estimated outlet temperature value using the estimated inlet temperature value, the second estimated outlet temperature value different than the first estimated outlet temperature value.
